Do you have Dungeons where you're from?

i guess, but i dont think its the way you mean it

What's it like where you're from?
Can you be revived in it?

uh
no
it's like a basement?

And a basement is...?

like a room under your house
for storage and stuff

Oh, so a cellar.
No... The Dungeons at home are much bigger than that. They're not typically man-made either, at least not at first.
They can be bigger than a town.

woaahhhhh
and you can just die there?? and come back???

Yes, but only in the Dungeon
There's magic to keep your soul tethered to your body if you die, but there are rules around that too
Like if you died from an incurable disease or your body was burned up, you can't really be brought back.

[ "Can't" is used very loosely here, not that Yuji knows that. ]

it’s almost like a video game…
that’s cool, you know? that must be scary but also super fun

It is for some people, [ LAIOS ] but there's a lot of risk that comes with it!
There are all sorts of monsters, traps, and goons in there.
I died after being suffocated by a slime the first time I went into a big Dungeon. My friend is also a mage, so she brought me back to life right away.

that's all so cool marcille-san
so you do this for your job or something?? is that why??

[ COOL.... SURE ]

I went down there to study magic and dungeons in general
But there was a prophecy that said if anyone could go down and defeat a mad sorcerer, they would get the riches of a kingdom deep underground
And they would get their wishes granted
That's why a lot of adventurers go into Dungeons, and that also makes it very dangerous
